I would like to begin by saying, this restaurant should be removed immediately from all delivery services. Secondly this has to be the easiest scams. What you see in the photos below is $19 dollars + fees and tax + tip Like I thought it was a joke. I’m seriously confused if this was a mistake or did I pay that much money for leftovers? Even the meat was like an insult.

My boyfriend and I ordered food after we got off of work and arrived a couple minutes past closing. The owners were kind and let us grab our food. I got the egusi and it is phenomenal, especially since it is my first time trying Nigerian food. My boyfriend got the ox tail with plantains and spinach, he finished his entire plate. The oxtails were very big (he already ate the first one when I took the photo) and it’s safe to say he was definitely satisfied. We will be returning, you should definitely give it a try!

After waiting for long they still had trouble making the adjustment to give me the listed price and had the audacity to try to give me the same bill to pay as if I’m stupid and can’t calculate the cost and tax! The issue is that many people (especially Nigerians even in Nigeria don’t
